In the event that the bidder’s forms (or parts of forms) are included in the bidder’s response and subsequently included as attachments or exhibits to the final Purchase Order, the bidder agrees that, where there are contradictions or inconsistencies, the terms of the Purchase Order shall always supersede and control those of any such attachment or exhibit.
